[SOLVED] Mac OS X & SMB Permissions (tearing my hair out!)

We have a group of users on Macs and Windows machines with access to a single SMB share on a NAS4Free box.

The windows machines are working fine but NO MATTER WHAT I DO, the Macs always create files with permissions 644 and directories as 755.

I want them to be crated with files permissions of 664 and directories with 775.

I've tried using auxiliary parameters of "directory mask = 0775" and "force directory mode = 0775" as well as "create mask = 0664" and "force create mode = 0664" but it makes no difference at all.

Mac clients range from OSX Snow Leopard to Mavericks.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

OK, quick and dirty fix. Added "unix entensions = no" to auxiliary parameters in CIFS/SMB settings.

Found the info from here:
